Who am I?

I am Adama Coulibaly. Call me Coul, or if you prefer, The Connector. I am a weaver of stories, a seeker of light, and a quiet spark behind PositiveMinds.

At the heart of this space lies a truth I hold deeply. Every connection has the power to uplift, inspire, and transform.

Much of what I share here is rooted in the voice of my mother, a natural storyteller who spoke in proverbs, metaphors, and analogies, saying more in one sentence than others say in a speech. She could name a truth without naming it. She could make silence echo with meaning. My writing carries her rhythm, wisdom, and way of making the complex feel simple—and the simple feel sacred.

A storyteller.

I am, first, a storyteller. I use blogging the way others use bridges — to bring people, ideas, and moments of clarity together. Each story I share is a small offering, a spark wrapped in reflection, meant to stir not just thought but feeling, not just reaction but connection. I write not to impress, but to invite.

A mentor.

I am also a mentor, though not the kind who walks ahead with all the answers. I walk beside. I ask questions. I hold space. PositiveMinds is a circle — not a podium — where we grow through mutual trust, shared insight, and the quiet power of encouragement. It’s a place where doubt can rest, and courage can stretch.

A learner.

And I am always a learner. Curiosity has been my north star, leading me to places my feet hadn’t planned to go. Here, we honour the questions as much as the answers. We grow by unlearning, relearning, and seeing the world not just as it is, but as it could be.

PositiveMinds is not just my voice—it’s ours. It is a community grounded in love, joy, and thoughtful presence, a space to reflect, reconnect, and remember what truly matters. So, if you're here, you already belong. Let’s sit together, grow together, and share the warmth of story and the strength of connection, one spark at a time.
